Version 1.3 of Guile is now available via anonymous FTP from

Guile is a portable, embeddable Scheme implementation written in
C. Guile provides a machine independent execution platform that can
be linked in as a library when building extensible programs.

questions, and often answers, about Guile. To subscribe, send mail

contains many bug fixes and incremental improvements. In
particular:

  • The C API has been revised in many places, based on input from
    users.
  • The `guile-config’ script makes it easier to compile and link C
    code that uses Guile.
  • The blocking behavior of the cooperative threading system is
    improved.
  • Guile can now use the readline library when run interactively,
    providing full command editing, history, and completion.
